Bee in a Bubble

[AndyH]

Hi all. Ovine's next game is in the final stages of testing before being submitted to Apple. Got some screenshots here.

Hope to get a video done later this week. Still tweaking sound effects which I always find the most difficult part.

It's finally out! Bee good and grab your copy today

iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bee-in-a ... mpt=uo%3D2



You can watch a video of the game in action on YouTube: http://youtu.be/Nr2qFqGh8z4

The aim of the game is to fly your Bee to the exit. To make things tricky, your bee is in a bubble and if that pops bee gets upset. There are currently two hives (a third is on the way) and in each one you have a set time limit. Take too long to complete one level in the hive and you will have less time for other levels. The good news is that you can go back and try to get a better time on any levels you have previously played. You also get a ghost bee of your best time to race against.



There are three control methods, the default is to 'rotate your world' as bee always 'goes up'. In other words, turn your iPhone/iPad around so that you change which way is up. However if you prefer more conventional control methods you can use a thumb joystick or rotatortron. There is also an accessibility option to change the speed of the game if its too fast for your taste.

Anyway, appreciate any support and comments. Enjoy!

Got it yesterday, mostly playing with the disc method so far. Ghost bee is a nice feature and love the music.

Thanks Andrew, appreciate the download

Looks fun. Really like the style and colours, too. Might have to pick it up.

[AndyH]

Thanks! I really like how it has turned out. It's very additctive trying to get through the levels and repaying previous levels to get more time back.

Just downloaded...

It's very addictive! I tried the tilt and disc controls and prefer the disc, although it is on top of the bee, which makes it a bit tough to see what I'm doing. It also appears to control the speed of the bee...?

Nice game.

[AndyH]

Yes you don't actually have to touch the disc, just draw a circle on the screen, but closer to the bee to slow down and further away to speed up.

There is a thumb joystick too. When rotating the screen pressing with one finger speeds you up, two slow you down.

Thanks for the support, it's a tough market to get noticed in*.






* good job we enjoy doing this

Oh Btw, you mentioned tilting, you have to rotate it 360 degrees otherwise it might seem strange. :-)
